England cricket legend Andrew Flintoff has joined the BBC Radio team as a leading part of their summer of Ashes cricket coverage.

Flintoff will front BBC Radio 5 live's Ashes Roadshows, which will be hosted at all the Ashes locations ahead of the tests. Guests will include former Australian stars Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist and it will be available for viewers on red button and the BBC Sport website as well as for listeners on 5 live.

The TMS team will have a fresh face for the summer as well, Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath.

Radio 1 and cricket fanatic Greg James will also have a new show this summer, Greg James' Not Just Cricket, which will be broadcast on Saturday mornings in July and August. Featuring special guests and irreverent chat, the show will be a chance for James to celebrate his favourite sport.

In addition, Michael Vaughan and Phil Tufnell will return for the summer with their 6-Duck-6 phone-in series.

Jonathan Wall, controller of BBC Radio 5 live and 5 live sports extra, said: "We are really looking forward to the Ashes, with ball-by-ball coverage and programmes designed to really bring cricket alive to all our audiences.

"Bringing the talent of Greg and Freddie in alongside our illustrious team at Test Match Special means there's something for everyone throughout the series."
